WordPress Settings for Ideas

There are a few WordPress settings that play an important role in how your Ideas enabled website works. We’ll go over those here. More info on WordPress Settings can be found in the WordPress Codex.

To get to WordPress settings, go to the left sidebar menu and click Settings.

General

Site Title

Add a short descriptive title. This title is used as the title for your site logo.

Membership

Enable “Anyone can register” to allow visitors registration.

New User Default Role

Ideas uses “Contributor” as the default role and we strongly advise to keep it.

Reading

Front page displays

Ideas comes with “Front page” set to “Ideas” and “Posts page” set to “Blog”. You can change this to suit your needs. AppThemes recommends no changes here.

Discussion

If you have not used WordPress before, we recommend reading the WordPress codex page on Discussion settings.

Discussion settings affect the responses/comments behavior and it’s layout. For example, you can enable or disable threaded comments, or require an administrator to review every new response to an idea.
